Value of: Bo Byram

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Byram’s trajectory is towards being a disappointment relative to where he was drafted.

He isn’t as good as some people think he is and his value is no where close to where people in this thread are making it out to be. He is well on his way to being a bust.

That certainly isn't even remotely accurate, unlike the guy in your username. Bo is a legit NHL Top 4 Dman.

Ya, so why don’t you cool it with the superiority complex. Without Americans the Canadians wouldn’t have a league period.

I will when the the poster i responded to cools it with the superiority complex about American team and cups.
PS Canada would have still had a league with or without Americans.

I can’t believe this is a serious post, I mean there are some bad takes on these boards but holy f***

He was supposed to be an all situations top-2 defender.

Spoiler alert. He isn’t that.

He’s 22 years old and played an integral part on a Cup winning team. He’s nowhere close to being a bust, say that is just dumb as shit.

If the canucks could fit him in the cap I'd offer lekkerimaki, a recent 15th overall who is doing well. Though I've always liked Byram and he's local. Not sure all canucks fans would like this deal.

Edit: Byram would probably be better suited going to a team where he could play pp1. Colorado/vancouver/nyr/Pittsburgh etc probably aren't ideal spots for him.

Maybe Byram to arz for guenther or something? Ooooh or to a team like Minnesota who doesn't have an elite offensive dman. SJS?

 

[Golden_Jet]

Ever wonder why the original 6 consisted of 2 Canadian teams and 4 American teams?

Or why the original 4 teams were all Canadian.

 

[John Mandalorian]

No but Canadian players have been winning the cup before and after 1993.
Without Canadians the Americans wouldn't have a cup win period.

Of course. And it goes without saying. It’s also not relevant.

 

[MK9]

Of course you were? That would be terrible for Colorado

Then:

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Aves are a win now team with a hole at 2C.

So offers of guys like Garland, Hoglander, Podkolzin, or recently drafted winger prospects are exactly the kind of trade that will appeal to Aves fans.

The value of Byram is still relatively high. Primarily due to a couple of reasons. His combination of speed, youth, size, poise and defensive play is very hard to find at 22. Not only that, but he’s actually proven in the playoffs and regular season that the talent is there. He still has stretches of very elite play and has shown that he can be integral to a Cup-winning team. Any GM is willing to pay a premium for that. Secondly, Byram is a low-risk player. What I mean by that is that is he has a very high ceiling, but if it doesn’t pan out, his floor is still very good as a shutdown top-4 defenseman. For 3.8 mill a season, that’s not bad by any means with the cap going up. There’s not too many players like that. Which brings me to my next point. Byram is on a great contract. Any GM who sees anything in him, can lock him up for long-term come extension time.

Now of course, there’s the injury risk with him, but I bet that Byram does eventually breakout as a superstar and has a healthy career. If anyone watches him play, you would know that he’s too good not to.

I think that Bo Byram will be fine. Very young player that has been nicked up a bit so far on his career.

I remember in the off season there was a poster that pokes his nose into every thread involving Vancouver always telling everyone how shitty Vancouver’s players were. Something Jedi I think? The poster said he wouldn’t trade Byram for Quinn Hughes.

Can you identify this poster to a police sketch artist?

 

[AintLifeGrand]

Bo's falling out of flavour in COL. Before tonight, he was tied for the league lead in minor penalties, and took another in OT tonight. Not sure if he's got too much responsibility with Girard out, but his awareness (and confidence) is abysmal lately.

Doesn't necessary have to be a Dman coming back.
- Boone Jenner (if Columbus wants a culture change)?
- Konencny?
- Lundell (although I don't think FLA needs dman)?
- Or swap him for Noah Hanifin+?

What's his value?

what about a 1 on 1 swap for Dante Fabbro

The same guy that said the current NHL goal leader is a cap dump?

byram's nowhere near being a bust and isn't having that bad of a season, but dude definitely looks like he lost 20 IQ points over the summer. his decision-making and timing is pretty bad in some games. avs fans said earlier this season that was mostly due to playing his off-side, is he still doing that? should they maybe stop doing that?

Easy pass.

Why?

He’s LD when with Manson who’s been back a few weeks or so.

He's also had a bunch of injuries that definitely didn't help his development.

You should let the other guy know Byram has a higher ppg than that Kakko guy his Rangers drafted a few spots earlier. Maybe let him know they play different positions also.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Why?

It’s settling. It doesn’t accomplish enough. Nothing against Fabbro.

The Avs aren't trading Bryram unless he asks for a trade.

IMO he should if he wants a real chance to fully meet his potential and make the most amount of money in his career. He's going to need PP1 opportunity for that and he'll understandably never get it behind Makar.

But as is, Byram is only 22 and already a #3 defenseman in the NHL. The Avs are clearly grooming him to be a 5v5 specialist, which is a mistake IMO. In the next 2-3 years he'll jump up to the top pairing as Toews starts to age out and Byram will become Makar's full time partner. It's not the shiniest career you could have hoped for on his draft day, but it's just fine in Colorado as long as he's okay with living in Makar's shadow.

The honest truth is Byram was drafted by a club that wasn't ideal for him. He's already got a cup ring, so I doubt he's too disappointed about it, but he really should have gone to Chicago and played under Duncan Keith for a year or two before becoming their PP1 QB and long term #1 D.
